It is particularly challenging to devise techniques for underpinning the behaviour of
autonomous vehicles in surveillance missions as these vehicles operate in uncertain and …

Abstract Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are increasingly regarded as a valid low-cost
alternative to UAVs and ground robots in surveillance missions and a number of other civil …

Intelligent Autonomy of UAVs: Advanced Missions and Future Use provides an approach to
the formulation of the fundamental task typical to any mission and provides guidelines of …

Nowadays, the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) deployment for diverse applications
become a reality. Mobile target tracking (MTT) using UAVs is among the widespread UAVs …

This paper addresses the problem of searching for survivors in flood affected regions. These
search missions are carried out by UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) in order to search …

Search and tracking is the problem of locating a moving target and following it to its
destination. In this work, we consider a scenario in which the target moves across a large …

One of the important applications of the UAVs is the coverage of an area and tracking
possible targets. When the area is large, optimal coverage and smart search will be an …

In recent years, professional first responders have started to use novel technologies at the
scene of disasters in order to save more lives. Increasingly, they use robots to search …
